CarComplaints.com Notes: Most people need a car where the coil springs don't puncture or shred tires while driving. The Taurus fails in that respect.
The 1999-2003 Ford Taurus has a huge problem with coil springs breaking, which can puncture or even shred tires while driving.
The US government spent THREE YEARS (2008-2011) investigating the 2002-2003 Taurus coil springs. Although Taurus/Sable from earlier years were recalled, ultimately the NHTSA did not force a recall. They determined that because there had been no deaths & very few bad crashes & injuries, the broken coil springs defect was no big deal & not a safety defect. Tell that to all the owners who had close calls...

It started when my headlight burned out one night as I was driving home. I took the headlight off and noticed the wiring harness was fried but the light was still on, but way dimmer than the other one. So I did the obvious and bought a brand new wiring harness, head light, parking/turn signal light for the front and a parking/turn signal/stop light for the rear. I replaced all of them and the same problem still exists! I don't know what the deal is but I need some answers on how to fix this annoying problem. Any idea's.
